About This Place

Nestled conveniently on Arctic Boulevard in Anchorage, Heidi’s Family Restaurant is a cherished local spot that promises a hearty, comforting breakfast experience with a true family-friendly vibe. Celebrated for its classic American breakfast and brunch fare, this inviting eatery serves up a delicious lineup of dishes that immediately evoke warmth and satisfaction.

The menu at Heidi’s is a treasure trove for those craving traditional breakfast favorites with a wholesome twist. Standouts like the fluffy Blueberry Pancakes bursting with sweet, tangy fruit, and the rich, creamy Biscuits and Gravy offer impeccable comfort food at its finest. For those who prefer savory, the Chicken Fried Steak and Country Fried Steak Skillet deliver crispy, golden exteriors enveloping tender, flavorful meat—a true indulgence. Eggs Benedict and its country cousin each arrive perfectly poached and topped with luscious hollandaise, creating a delicate balance of textures and flavors. Hearty skillets brimming with fresh eggs, corn beef hash, or Philly Cheese Steak components make the perfect protein-packed start to the day.

The Sweet side of the menu dazzles with options like Golden Waffles drizzled generously with warm syrup, and the irresistible Cinnamon Roll, promising a gooey, cinnamony delight that melts on your tongue.

The comforting textures—from crispy hash browns to buttery waffles—paired with the flavorful, made-to-order meals create a sense of homestyle nourishment that keeps guests coming back.

    Very delicious breakfast, clean and good environment! I was seated immediately and offered coffee right away. They work well as a team here. I’m only visiting, but if I wasn’t I sure would come here often! My server Alysha was awesome!

    Finally made it to Heidi’s with some good friends. I was not disappointed whatsoever! Great place for breakfast!! The place is very clean, up to date, and very well kept! Bravo Heidi’s! I think I will frequent this place from now on! I know this is a challenge in Alaska. Service is very kind and helpful! Nothing like getting mini candy bars after the meal!! Sorry I don’t have pictures of the food, our conversation and excitement got the best of us and I forgot. I had the country fried steak skillet and it was delicious. My friend had an omelette and I can say this! The dish looks both great and tastes great. I actually like that it is not overly huge and ridiculous! It is the right amount!

    So happy we found this little gem. Stopped by with our family or 10, and they quickly put together a table for us to sit together. Food was great! I specifically enjoyed the very crispy hash browns and the buttery fluffy waffles. Service was A+. A great spot for comfort breakfast.

    My omelette was the reason I used to eat omelette, perfect fluffy, cheesy omelette with mushrooms and spinach, with avocado. Pancakes with warm syrup and perfect butter, yes please. Decor is very clean.

    Nice clean restaurant, food was good, service fine with some smiles. Nothing really notable and with the prices the same as most other places, I don't feel compelled to return. I had waffle and eggs my guest, egg Benedict.

    This is an all American family restaurant specializing in breakfast and brunch. They're open from 6 AM - 3 PM. Everyone here was friendly and attentive, they all served together as a team. The food was served fast, hot, and fresh. Good food at a reasonable price. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is clean,modern, and comfy. This is a great place if going solo or meeting up as a group. I was also pleasantly surprised to get a complimentary kitkat with my bill. That was a "sweet" gesture.

    Came here for breakfast after reading the great reviews, and we were pleasantly surprised how well reality lived up to the hype. This is a seriously good breakfast. Our portions were generous, and the meals were delicious. The buttermilk pancakes are awesome! My corned beef skillet was one of the best hashes I've had in a long time, and we're from PA Dutch country. In fact, we're planning on stopping by again tomorrow morning before we leave Anchorage. A place so nice, you gotta go twice (or more, but we won't be here to keep coming back though we will be back if we ever return to Anchorage). Vegetarian options are available, and the service was quick and polite.
